"Just last week I was talking to a local writer about “editors I have known” and I said you are absolutely the best!….Professional thoroughness, promptness, and cleverness in making the best out of my manuscripts.  Especially dear to my heart was the sense of camaraderie that I felt when working together on our projects….I am grateful for all your help.”—Joan Mathews Larson, Ph.D.., best-selling author of Depression-Free, Naturally  and Seven Weeks to Sobriety  

 

“I have worked with Elizabeth, first as the editor of my nonfiction project (The Wisdom of St. Patrick), and then as a publishing colleague at Ballantine Books—and I can, with great confidence and enthusiasm, recommend her a talented  editor who has “saved” any number of books and substantially improved others, including my own.  She handles books and authors with great respect and skill.”—Greg Tobin, author and former Editor-in-Chief for both Book-of-the-Month Club and Ballantine Books, a Division of Random House, Inc.

 

"We initially were referred to Elizabeth Zack to help us with our book proposal. Her expert 'doctoring' resulted in an excellent prospectus and eventual book contract...Her work is professional and smart. She has a canny ability to bring life to a manuscript, while maintaining the integrity of your work.  She has an authoritative,  energetic, confident style where you always feel her partnership and dedication to shaping and improving your project.  Importantly, she always responds in a timely manner.  She is a pleasure to work with, and any author would feel well-served by working with her."--Beth Grosshans, Ph.D. and Janet Burton, LCSW, authors, Beyond Time-Out: New Strategies for Effective Parenting in Challenging Times

“Quick, organized, and a fine line-editor. It’s rare to find an editor who truly enjoys and excels at the detailed work of line editing and shaping a manuscript. Elizabeth does just that.”—Denise Marcil, President, Denise Marcil Literary Agency, Inc.

 

“Elizabeth Zack is a superb developmental editor. Her sense of structure and market expectations have contributed materially to the success of the projects we have worked on together over the years.” –Diana Faulhaber, Publisher, American Dietetic Association

 

“Elizabeth Zack is an awesome editor, her instincts flawless, her grasp of material swift and all-encompassing. (And she has a sense of humor!) She makes all her authors look good.”—Joan Wester Anderson, New York Times best-selling author

 

"After researching and speaking with several potential book editors, I discovered Elizabeth Zack and BookCrafters.  Her high-energy, 'can-do' attitude and in-depth knowledge of form and structure made all other options irrelevant. Work was completed on time, below budget and with such ease that the entire process seemed stress-free, enjoyable and rewarding.  If you are looking for an editor, a relationship and an outstanding result - look no further." - Bob Scott, author and business entrepreneur

 

"You’ve edited three of my recent health books, raising the bar each time with excellent editing skills.  Both The Sinus Cure and Making a Baby (Ballantine) are strong sellers on Amazon.com and other Internet booksellers, and the reviews are superb.  Elizabeth, if I ever need an editorial consult, I’ll know where to turn!”—Debra Fulghum Bruce, author

 

"You did an outstanding job for my How to Stop Heartburn book...I was exceedingly impressed with your meticulous editing of my manuscript."--Anil Minocha, M.D., author, Natural Stomach Care

"Elizabeth has been a delight to work with. She is very professional, prompt, fun to work with, and her skills were always right on the mark. Her suggestions on the wording and shaping of the material were always done gently and made such a difference in the overall feel of my writing...so much so that my nonfiction proposal was just purchased by McGraw-Hill! --Sandra Reishus, M.H.S., A.C.S., author of  Oh No, I've Become My Mother!

“You’ve focused me to write the first work of mine that I truly like and wish to see published.  This is new for me. I admitted no outside force to my other books and plays to keep me on track, and they did not end in the assurance that I hold for this work, that ‘This is a darned good book.’ What a miracle of clarity you have brought me. I’ve truly loved working with you and can only, through these words, give a far too limited indication of my deep respect and appreciation for the excellent

craft that you provide. --Harris Monosoff, Ph.D., author of the upcoming The Boy Who Ended War
